External Batteries for Note 5

Hi guys,
So I am almost 100% certain that I'm going to be getting the Note 5, which as we all know comes with a 3,000 mAh battery (which cannot be removed), I'm thinking that I'm going to need to keep a power bank on me when I'm traveling. The power bank that I had for my Note 4 (which worked quite well) was from TechMatte. I got it on amazon about a year ago, and it's still going strong.
Do you guys think that it will still work well for the Note 5? I think that it will still work fine, but I'm wondering which one you guys use-- perhaps I might upgrade if a good priced one is mentioned?
Thanks!!

I use a limefuel Been using it for several months now. It works great. They did have a problem with bad batch where the USB ports would either come lose or no longer work, but since there was a 1 year warranty I got a free replacement

Here are 2 with Quick charge 2.0.

I just bought the aukey quick charge 2.0 one earlier today. Amazon had a lightning deal on it and I got it for $23

I have the Cheotech one. Its one of the few Quick Charging Batteries that actually registers as a fast charger. I have tested many of the ones available on Amazon. You wont see them on my channel since they dont pass the Fast Charger test. See my video on the Choetech one.

No doubt limefuel works great.:good::good:

I watched your review of the Cheotech. Have you tried the Aukey?

I have not received a unit from AUKEY as of yet. Many of the ones that claim to be Q2.0 when connected to the phone stay in cable charging mode. Not Fast charging. Can anyone on the thread post their experience. See my pic

I sent a message to Aukey for a unit to review. Lets see what they say.

I got my aukey battery pack in today and it does fast charge my note 5.

I too have that one. great value for the price. They are also offering quick charge ones-- my wife uses it on her s6.

External Battery Power Bank is the right solution as the Note 5 has non-removable 3000mAh battery that is even less than its predecessor.!

Anyone could do a comparison review of the two? Is Aukey battery a new released one? I had the CHOETECH one. It's a pretty high quality PowerBank good for both Samsung and Apple users, because its fast charging port is compatible with iOS devices (at fast rate 2.1Amps max).

I have seen the comparison on one of third party website between these two power banks. It seems like un-biased but I am not much sure about it: http://www.lonpower.com/aukeys-powe...neration-quick-charge-2-0-based-power-bank-2/

I do to.

I just received my Aukey 10000mah model# pb-t4. And fast charging works. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B011U0AY22/ref=ya_aw_oh_pii?ie=UTF8&psc=1

i read somewhere that Quick Charging does wear the battery quicker. ever since i read that, i've avoided Quick Charging my S6e unless i really needed the juice quickly. i just don't want to own a brick sooner than later if true, especially since we cant replace the battery. on my S6e, it fully charges in 1hr 12min with the Adaptive charger while with a regular 2.4A charger, it fully charges in 1hr 20min. i haven't checked my Note 5 Duos yet. but i always have 2 power banks with me in my camera bag anyway whenever i'm carrying it which is almost always.
i've got several branded power banks including those from Anker and Aukey, but the only one that has held up the longest and still performs really well is my Mophie. it just doesn't have as large a capacity as my other power banks.

Has anyone found an external battery that can be CHARGED with the quick charge tech. I know there are ones that will charge a phone real fast, but I want to charge the battery real fast.

Fast charging power bank?

Hi
Has anyone found a powerbank that will charge at the same speed of the original charger?

i found it, but haven't try it yet

Did that, obviously. The page mainly contains images instead of text, so the vast majority can't be translated which makes it rather useless.
The answer that you can roughly charge a 3100mAh device three times is also bogus so won't order there anyway :good:

Quick charging works:
- proper battery icon and notifications appear
- Ampere app reports up to 2800mA charging current

Thanks ufoman will.order this one then

have a source for better price? Ones I seen go for around $38-40 for the quick charge version. Also, does it provide constant 2.4 ah current? The original adapter seems to charge switch from 1.4 to 2.4 and not constant. It seems this can be charged at 12v via quickcharge 2 or 3.0

The problem is only Huawei fast charge works with Huawei mate 8

Thanks buddy!

I have tried few wall chargers and power banks, unfortunately Huawei's mate 8 does not accept many chargers that supports 9v2a output. on the contrary, its own charger does charge almost every mobile that has a QC2.0 support.
the latest thing I bought was the Anker's powercore+ 26800 which has three outlets two of which are IQ and one a QC2.0
the IQ outlet provides a max of 1770 mah and the QC2.0 provides a max of 1550 mah or so.(the IQ outlet is reasonably ok during my weekly camping).

As far as I can tell, it works exactly like the wall charger. The phone does not heat up any more using the powerbank, so it has to use the same burst charging method to avoid overheating the battery.
Charging time from 5% to 100% is a little bit below 2h30m (the last 10% take an awful lot of time).

excellent results, thank you ufoman and enjoy your power bank :good:
mate 8 and all of the phones which uses fast charging do slow down around 85% battery and the remaining 15% takes a lot of time so I usually charge it to 90% and use it for the whole day

Xiaomi's Wireless charger

$15 for a quality product, I'm in!
Sadly, I don't see it on gearbest, am I missing something?

It's on Gearbest for $35 and a few on Aliexpress for ~$29. Seems need to wait for price to drop for buying it to make sense.

Oh, thanks.
Yep, I'll wait a few days/weeks

It doesn't have a logo on the top, that was only present in promotional images.

I dont know about that wireless charger stuff. I have had one, a bit more expensive than the mi charger. Totally useless, you have to align it perfrctly to charge the phone, which is very tidious. I think its better to invest that money to get a second cable charger and a longer cable perhaps..

Has someone bought/tried it? I've bought it from joybuy but I'm still waiting (shipping time is about 6-10 days).

It doesn't seem to support quick charging even though it is supposed to be the official Xiaomi wireless charger. I'm new to wireless charging so I don't know if the slower charging speed is normal or not. I keep my phone charged between 40% and 80% and do top offs when I get the chance. Sometimes the wireless charging seems pretty fast. Yesterday it seemed to take forever to charge from 55% to 80%. Maybe charging speed has something to do with the way the phone is positioned on the charger. I haven't figured out what's going on with it yet. Hopefully somebody else has some insight.

Can't tell yet, waiting mine to arrive.

I bought my Mi Mix 2S and accessoires via tradingshenzhen.
Don't know how good international shipping is, but they ship via EU warehouse or china warehouse.
It's 22€ or ~25$ on their site.
https://tradingshenzhen.com/de/sonstiges/1213-xiaomi-millet-wirelesscharger.html
The phone is already here because it was via EU warehouse.
Will report back on usability of the wireless charger once it has arrived.

Mine charges reasonably fast with bulk chinese wireless charger. Charging coil is positioned exactly in the middle of the phone, and aligning the phone with charger makes a huge difference.

Charging Current not steady!

I have try with three chargers and 1 powerbank. When i use quickcharge the current measured in Ampere is not steady, it can go from 800mah to 3400mah and this is not good at all for the battery. Can someone check if they are having the same problem?
Thank you in advance!

Today i was charging my device witv a quicharge powerbank and it doesn't quickcharge at all and charge until 80%, and stop charging and start heating bad, i was slepping and wake up because of the heat. Is a problem with my device or it is common?

As i said i have try with a lot or charger, the original one included. Have you monitored the current? Also sometines it start conecting and disconecting or it get stuck at 80% and start heating up. It seems it only happen with quickcharge, if i use a normal one i don't have this problem.
Thank you very much for your help!

There is no one kind enougth to download ampere and test this???. It can take at most 5 minutes....

I tested and it goes from 1660 mA to 4050mA, the most time it spends on 3200-3600mA

The phone doesn't charge in full throttle while the display is turned on. So most of the time i charge with the display off. Keep it on and it will switch to 500 mah. Or max I have got with original charger and cable is 2500 mah

The problem is not that, the problem is that it fluctuates heavy, like in 10 seconds it goes up and down and it is not temperature related. With the screen turned off is the same, you can check. Also with some charges it doesn't even charge or stop charging from no where. It isn't ok by any means. Sometimes it even stop charing at 80% at stay heating up!
Can you confirm with ampere is yours is fluctuating like that too??? It will be nice to confirm that is in all the models.

Thank you very very very much. In your phone the current fluctuates but not that heavy, i will say that it is inside the normal parameters, like from 2900-3050. Anyway it should be able to charge a little more, like 3400mah. The problem at 95% is present at mine too. It charges really slow but it is normal, for security reasons.
So now i don't know, maybe my phone charging circuit is ****ed up or something .

It just fluctuates little that's not a problem.
But if it keeps jumping big levels then why not try with a different USB cable and see?
EDIT: Sorry just now I saw your first post. So it seems something else is wrong. I'm using the Nokia provided charger and USB and have been getting this much since the day I owned it. I think I would have seen 3500 in Oreo and now in Pie it seems to be pushing high current until about 80%. So not sure if it is just hardware only or software only problem on your phone.

I have tried with different cables and chargers, also i think the problem is not the usb-c port. Maybe the charge system is ****ed up or maybe something in the battery. Sometimes it is more steady but sometimes it start jumping from 1000ma to 3500ma and start going lower again. For example after 60% it charges steady at 1840mah like nothing. So i am not sure what is the real problem. Thank you for sharing!

Wireless Charging

Is there any good wireless chargers out there that are compatible with the Xperia 1 II.

I've got this one ready which I'm presuming will work;
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07DBXZZN3?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
I'm not bothered that this may or may not charge at the fastest wireless capabilit, as it'll be my bedside table nighttime charger

I have just backed to that project
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ohsnapofficial/ohsnap-grip-how-smart-people-use-smartphones
i like the fact that it got a magnet so you won't consume a charge cycle for removing it from the dock for few seconds

I'm assuming my Ioniq Premium EV wireless charger will do the trick. A bit on the expensive side, but it comes with a car.

I just bought this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Spigen-Ste...arger&qid=1592015010&sprefix=spigen+wi&sr=8-5

I have a Samsung one and it works ok.

Does it work? How long to charge? What adaptor are you using with it?
Want something by my computer, so needs to be reasonably fast.

It works even with the Spigen case. Though I couldn't say how long it takes as I only use it at nighttime as a stand, plus I have a generic multi-usb plug that it's plugged in to and so it won;t be charging at it's fastest speed anyways.
Sorry not to be of any help there, someone else soon I'm sure will be of more assistance

What do you mean by compatible? Qi is the only wireless charging standard so any wireless charger works
Sent from my XQ-AT51 using Tapatalk

Loads of the wireless charges say Samsung compatible 10watts all other models 5watts
Or Apple compatible etc...

Use the one on the picture. It's old but does the job well. It even works with the official Sony window case.

Do we have an Official Sony OEM Wireless Charger?
I thought my eyes played a trick on me that a few weeks after the Xperia 1 II was announced in February that I saw a new wireless charger accessories in the Sony Mobile UK website. But when I check it again now, it's not there. I wonder if it was never there in the first place and my eyes played a trick on me.
I think the last wireless charger that Sony produced was the WCH20 for the XZ2. But it's said that the product is discontinued, and I find it really difficult to find one. I know I can use any qi-compatible wireless charger (like the Samsung one, which I kind of like), but I don't like having my accessories not part of the Sony ecosystem.
Does anyone know if Sony has an in-production wireless charger or have some plans to reintroduce them as well? I find it odd that they sell a phone with wireless charging capability but not complimented by the accessories needed to fully utilise that feature. Since the product page says that "Wireless charger sold separately". Now, does that mean we have to get it from somewhere else, or that Sony is going to sell their wireless charger separately?
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

I bought a Yootech one off Amazon. Works well, puts in just under 3000mah.

I think the last wireless charger that Sony produced was the WCH20 for the XZ2. But it's said that the product is discontinued, and I find it really difficult to find one. I know I can use any qi-compatible wireless charger (like the Samsung one, which I kind of like), but I don't like having my accessories not part of the Sony ecosystem.
Does anyone know if Sony has an in-production wireless charger or have some plans to reintroduce them as well? I find it odd that they sell a phone with wireless charging capability but not complimented by the accessories needed to fully utilise that feature. Since the product page says that "Wireless charger sold separately". Now, does that mean we have to get it from somewhere else, or that Sony is going to sell their wireless charger separately?
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

I found one at the Sony Center (look at my previous post) but it's an older model. They are planning on bringing back the xz2 / xz3 charger but due to the pandemic the production is slow. There are some New old Stock on ebay and amazon uk

Any recommendations for a reasonably inexpensive wireless charger that charges the phone quickly?

I'm using the Pixel Stand

Virtually any Qi charger that supports over 11w charging will work fine.
Only thing is, the phone seem to get hot when wireless charging much more than when using a cable.

Tip
I use a QI stand for my XZ2 P and left the phone on there (usually at night and more) and after 18 months the battery had swollen and was pushing the screen off
New battery fitted and programmed timer fitted to the mains outlet, working out my charging patterns I have set timed on off program that limits the charging times, it has a manual override if I need it but generally don't
so it charges for 2 hours from 4am and 5 more cycles during the day of 30mins each - sometimes I turn it off depending on my usage and charge level - so far working very well
The longest period on continuous charge is 2 hours
I highly recommend this to everyone who finds themselves leaving their phone on charge for long periods

Use the one on the picture. It's old but does the job well. It even works with the official Sony window case.

Thanks tonev!
I bought one today from Ebay, 32 euro shipping included

Should I get a 10w or a 15w QI charger?
